what i'm loving….

this post is long overdue…. loooooong overdue. but better late than never, right? and since it's been one month (and one day!) since liza's first birthday (but who's counting?) i figured it's high time i share one of my absolute favorite parts of her birthday party….

the outfit! 

y'all. i've bought a lot of baby clothes over the past five years. (just kidding, jeffrey. not that many….).

for me to say this outfit is one of my favorites, well - that's a big deal. 

when i saw the sarah jane fabric, "on parade" i knew that i wanted to use it for liza's birthday outfit. i immediately emailed amanda from goat & lulu and sent her a screenshot of the fabric. we emailed back and forth a few times but essentially i just told her i wanted to use that fabric and i wanted a two piece outfit. other than that - she could run with it. and oh my word, she did! 

have you ever seen anything so cute?! isn't this precious!!! and, here's the kicker - its reversible! even better! :)

liza girl's ONEderful parade party just wouldn't have been the same without this darling outfit! 

amanda has SO many adorable items listed in her shop for the fall. i'm not sure whether to buy them for my girls or request a custom order and have them made in my size. or both! 

these are a few of my current favorite goat & lulu items:

The Apple a Day Dress

precious! and perfect for back to school and a fun transition piece into fall. 

 Sweet Swing Top
this is just too much! seriously! 

Pretty Peasant Scallop Top
this is one that i want in my size! love the scalloped edge. and i love that goat & lulu has a huge array of fabrics to choose from. you can customize the top in the prints and colors of your choice! 

and you know with football right around the corner we have to have our spirit wear ready! goat & lulu has you covered there, too! you can look cute before, during, and after the game. :) 

and with the wide variety of fabrics in the shop, you can pick and choose just the right colors to support your favorite team!
